I read the entire book and thought it was very, very thorough. Many cheer books seeem to be targeted towards a younger audience. This book seems like it would make sense
for ANY age, especially coaches.

This book has some basic information on stunt techniques. There are a few mistakes and some stunts and transitions aren't explained or represented very well.
